No Pain, No Gain!'-Have it been screamed in
your ear by a sweats clad but military reared trainer one too many
times? Well, it's partly true. You will experience a certain amount of
pain when you decide to undergo intense bodybuilding regimens. However,
apart from muscle soreness of varying degrees, you might want to be
extra alert on particular aches your body is experiencing. It may be its
way of telling you that something is definitely wrong and needs some
fixing. In your pursuit on the best ways on how to build muscles, keep
these factors in mind to make sure you avoid causing needless injury to
your body.
It is understandable that beginners especially would like nothing more than to spend many hours in the gym working up a good sweat expecting to see faster results. The fact is, over training is probably one of the first things you need to take care to avoid. Your immune system suffers and the tendency to injure oneself is greater in over training. Moreover, you will get burnt out quicker. Take a few days or even a week off periodically to give your body the rest it needs.
If your plan is to gain a lot of weight to help you realize a massive and muscular frame, many forums will tell you to keep away from regular aerobic training because this burns the much needed calories. You need to put on a considerable amount of body mass but not at the expense of your heart's health. Cardiovascular training improves the elasticity of your arteries and lowers the cholesterol levels. Make sure you always include light aerobic training into your regimen for health purposes.
Practice gym safety. You will be using their equipment often, make sure the weight plates are properly locked and stacked away from the general floor area of the space for the safety of other trainers as well. You yourself should watch your step and be careful around machines with cables and bars attached to it. Don't leave barbells and dumbbells just lying around where anyone can trip on them and wear the correct footwear. Give other people plenty of space when they work out.
Always keep the correct position and form as you execute your drills. A lot of people make the mistake of rushing through the last few reps just so they can complete the given set but doing so may potentially put your body in an injury with serious consequences. Study and know the right way of performing the assigned exercises, starting with the lesser weight and gradually increasing it. If a joint or tendon feels particularly over extended, do not force the movement. Stop and ask your instructor on the best way of doing the task.
Last but not the least, have the right diet. The right diet will fuel your workout sessions and even promote muscle development. If you are looking to lose weight then ease up on the calories; for bodybuilding, load up on the meals. Regardless of the goal in mind, get your calories from healthy food like chicken, fish, nuts, whole wheat grains, etc. Increase your fluid intake particularly during workout days.
Make the extra effort to attend to these little details; it will do so much for the efficacy of your weight training routines. Have quality rest, eat sensible and exercise smart-looking good has never been this easy.
